Added GT/CS bumpers and GT500 spoiler!

Ever since I rebuilt the convertible last summer with GT/CS bumpers, I've been wanting them for my coupe. Almost like an early father's day present, I got it back from the body shop yesterday with the new bumpers installed and a GT500 spoiler to boot! And, as another part of father's day present, my wife gave me the entire day to wash and wax it! Is there a better way to spend a day?

I'm really digging the way the black valance looks on the rear bumper - it totally makes the chrome Borlas pop!





For some reason, after I put the SHR louvers on, I really didn't like the looks of the factory spoiler anymore either. But I think the GT500 spoiler looks pretty darn good.



I wasn't sure about the front bumper until after I washed and waxed it and got it out of the garage. Definitely like it now. And the huge plus is that there are no more plate holes! I put a Show-N-Go retractable plate holder under the front bumper.







Next are new wheels and tires if I can ever find what I want in stock. CS40s = 60 days out. Steeda Spyders = 60 days out. Next...

Happy father's day all!

Outstanding! I like your taste in mods; very well integrated and that new spoiler sure beats the OEM wing.

Looks GREAT !! Love the center mount fogs with your stripes and the GT/CS front. GT/CS rear does look especially good with the borla's.

Thanks for all the great comments! Took it for a ride yesterday and already had someone say to me "I didn't know Ford made a CS in that color!"

Looks good! Now you need to get a SilverHorse Racing lower grille insert. It really finishes the look of the CS front bumper and gives more protection as well.

LOL! I ordered it Sat after taking the pics and it'll be here this week! Agree that this is a must-have for the CS front end.
